Polestar is accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility through electric performance. Car Services and Industrial Operations is a newly established area that plays a vital role in Polestar’s business.
Our mission is to ensure that Polestar can offer services to customers seamlessly, while giving our service partners the digital tools they need to enhance, maintain, and repair our vehicles. We support compound operations so that cars are properly prepared and delivered to their owners on time. We also collect, analyze, and share data that provides valuable product insights, helping the quality organization to quickly identify and resolve issues, keeping customers satisfied and reducing quality costs.
Product compliance is another cornerstone of our work, ensuring that Polestar’s products meet both new and existing legislation across all markets where we operate. In addition, we support contract manufacturing by enabling downstream processes such as homologation, Certification of Conformity, and warranty handling.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Through smart digital solutions, we contribute to Polestar’s vision of a more sustainable future by making key data accessible across manufacturing, logistics, aftermarket, and sustainability, empowering better decisions, streamlined operations, and an elevated customer experience.
We are a close‑knit and experienced team. Several of us have worked together for a long time, creating a cohesive environment built on collaboration and mutual support. We are ambitious, set high standards, and strive to deliver outstanding solutions, while remaining prestige‑free, adaptable, and focused on the customer.
We are now looking for a Senior Solution Architect to join us at our headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden.
As a Senior Solution Architect, you will guide multiple teams in building aligned, scalable, and high‑quality solutions across the Car Services and Industrial Operations.
You will work across teams, systems, and organizational boundaries, ensuring that solutions are aligned with enterprise architecture while supporting business needs. The role combines architecture leadership, technical direction, and cross‑functional collaboration, where you will contribute to shaping both current and future digital capabilities.
You will act as a key partner to product and technology leadership, helping teams make the right architectural decisions while driving standardization, reducing complexity, and enabling long‑term scalability.
You will lead architecture across multiple teams and ensure that solutions are scalable, aligned, and built for long‑term success.
Your responsibilities include:
Leading architecture across several teams within Car Services and Industrial Operations
Ensuring solutions align with enterprise architecture principles and standards
Supporting teams with technology strategy, cloud architecture, and DevOps practices
Designing solutions that are scalable, cost‑efficient, and global by design
Resolving cross‑team technical challenges and removing impediments
Aligning product roadmaps with target architecture together with product and technology leadership
Ensuring security, compliance, and risk considerations are embedded in solutions
Driving standardization and reducing fragmentation across teams
Managing and reducing technical debt at area level
Defining reusable patterns, APIs, and integration approaches
Coordinating integrations and dependencies across systems and teams
Contributing to the broader architecture community
In your daily work, you will collaborate closely with product and engineering teams across Car Services and Industrial Operations, as well as business stakeholders within service, customer experience, and operations, ensuring that architecture supports both technical and business outcomes. You will also work with the broader architecture community, including Solution Architects, Chief Architects, and Enterprise Architects, together with leadership and external partners where relevant.
You enjoy working across teams and systems, solving complex problems, and bringing structure to large‑scale environments. You are comfortable working with both technical teams and business stakeholders, and you can explain complex topics in a clear and practical way.
You combine strong technical understanding with the ability to connect strategy, architecture, and execution, and you are motivated by enabling teams to deliver scalable and high‑quality solutions.
To be a great fit for this position, we believe you have:
Experience designing solutions across multiple teams or domains
Strong knowledge of cloud platforms, CI/CD, and modern system architecture
Experience working with integrations, APIs, and distributed systems
Experience delivering solutions across organizational and business boundaries
Strong understanding of non‑functional requirements such as security, performance, and availability
Experience standardizing solutions and managing dependencies and technical debt
At least 5 years of experience in solution architecture
Experience within automotive, mobility, or service‑based digital platforms is considered a strong advantage.
We know that a change is needed. We also know that each one of us can help bring about that change. Our commitment to becoming climate‑neutral by 2040 is just as important to us as being inclusive, diverse, and innovative.
Together, we are creating, collaborating, and experimenting to usher in a new era of sustainable mobility. We are an electric performance brand, determined to improve the society we live in.
If this sounds like the right challenge for you, we encourage you to apply. We apply a continuous selection process, and the position will remain open until filled.
As we move through the Swedish summer holiday season, there may be a slight delay in our process. We look forward to getting back to you in August.
Are you ready for the journey? Which is electric, by the way…
